What specific prophecies are you talking about? Scripture please.
That question is not was God able ..the question was WHAT DID GOD WILL? Did either meet the plan laid before the foundation of the earth?
I seems to me, and I might be wrong, that God willed that the descendents of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob enter the land of Canaan. The LORD was not specific about which generation that would be (though, I quite possibly be wrong, so, if I am, please provide me the Scriptures that specifically mention this).
So, RnMomof7, do you think that that promise could have been fulfilled by either that specific generation of Israelites that left Egypt as well as the generation after them that did actually enter Canaan and fulfil God's promise?
I will ask you again pony...If God is not immutible in His decisions..If God changes His mind ..what assurance do you have that your salvation is secure..could it be He will "change the plan" and you will not "fit"
God did not change His mind about the descendents of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob inheriting the land of Canaan, did He? No, of course not. The LORD is faithful to His promises, right? And this promise was fulfilled, right? So, just the details remain; couldn't the first generation of Israelites who left Egypt just have accurately fulfilled God's promise as the second?
(though, I quite possibly be wrong, so, if I am, please provide me the Scriptures that specifically mention this).
God is always specific
Read Gen 15...they would enter the land in the 4th generation
Not the third..not the 5th...the fourth...
Joshua was born "Hoshea" (salvation) but Moses changed his name to "Yehoshua" (Yahweh is salvation). This is the Hebrew equivalent of the Greek name "Iesous" (Jesus). His name is symbolic of the fact that although he is the leader of the Israelite nation during the conquest, the Lord is the Conqueror.
So do you ~think~ God had a plan?
